Planet Pome-Granite
by
Lisa McDonald
A bright graphic novel about the adventures and discoveries of the people of the future, Planet Pome-Granite will bring its readers on a journey from a land of fear and monotony to a world of childlike wonder and play! Planet Hindsight is full of roads, phones and computers. The adults there live in fear of one another, and spend all day sitting at their desks and in their cars. That is, until our seven Newfound Heroes land on Planet Hindsight. Compassion, Peace, Love, Kindness, Joy, Passion, and Humanity, heroes from different corners of the universe, work together to release the adults of Planet Hindsight from their world of fear. Watch the beautiful transformation as the adults of Planet Hindsight connect with their generosity, creativity, and passion. Imaginations bloom! Friendship rises like the sun! Peace falls over the land like a soft rain! The adults leave their cars and offices and come together to build the world’s largest sandbox, where they rediscover their sense of carefree fun and joy. And with that, the work of the Newfound Heroes is complete. Let this uplifting tale inspire you with a model of an alternate universe — a world where adults remember to feed the children in their hearts, a world where peace and cooperation prevail, a world called Planet Pome-Granite. Remember, stay curious, adventurous, loving and fearless, and your inner child will shine. As mentioned in the Foreword written by musician Rob Preuss, he has been inspired to compose a musical journey to accompany the release of Planet Pome-Granite.
